Private Duty Nurses

Our private duty nurses bring clinical judgment into the home for patients whose condition can change without warning. Acting early on a change is often what prevents a serious complication or a return to the hospital. Every nurse is supervised by our clinical manager and by our founder, Lorna McDonald, RN, BSN.

We place nurses for medically complex and high-acuity care, recovery after surgery, and adults and children with ongoing medical needs. That includes days, evenings, overnights, and weekends, often on short notice.

What your nurse does

• Assesses and responds. Ongoing clinical assessments, with immediate intervention when something changes.

• Follows the plan of care precisely. Your physician’s orders, carried out exactly as written.

• Manages medications. Administers medications and coordinates refills with the physician and pharmacy.

• Keeps everyone informed. Regular communication with the physician and the family members you designate.

• Lifts the load from family. Takes on day-to-day health management, so family can simply be family.

• Teaches. Helps the patient and family understand the condition and the care.

One standard, every case. We accept only a few clients at a time, so your nurses stay consistent and come to know the patient and the household.

Home Health Aides

Our home health aides help clients stay safe, comfortable, and independent at home. They support people with limited mobility and people living with dementia, from the early stages through the later ones. Every aide works under the supervision of our clinical manager, so the same clinical standard behind our nursing care stands behind every aide we place.

Aides can care for a client on their own, work alongside one of our nurses, or continue care once a patient no longer needs RN coverage.

What your aide does

• Keeps the client steady on their feet. Help with walking and transfers to prevent falls.

• Helps with personal care. Grooming and dressing, done with patience and respect for privacy.

• Keeps the day on track. Medication reminders, light meals, and light housekeeping.

• Goes along to appointments. Accompanies the client to doctor’s visits.

• Encourages movement. Supports exercise the physician has approved.

• Offers companionship. A familiar, steady presence, which matters especially for clients with dementia.

• Watches and reports. Notices changes in health or behavior and reports them to the clinical manager.

The same aide, week after week. We accept only a few clients at a time, so your aide comes to know the client’s routines, preferences, and household.
